In case any of you muley archery guys don't cruise the whitetail forum section, there is an archery deer contest and we are trying to recruit people to signup. The archery contest is open to muleys, whitetails, and blacktails. It should be a very fun and interesting contest. Go to this thread in the whitetail forum and signup.

I remember you guys doing this next year, but I am wondering how it would work with muleys. I think the average whitetail that people get is smaller than the average whitetail.

Plus, for the most part, archery hunting for mule deer is alot harder than it is for whitetail. Not saying whitetail is easy, so don't jump on me ::whistling: but mule deer, with their wide open habitat and lower overall population numbers, it's tougher.

There are conversions for muleys which are normally bigger and blacktails which are normally smaller. Here is the conversion numbers for a muley to whitetail.

muley's = 145" x .862 = 124.99" The math isn't exact. But, if you shot a mule deer that was 145", it would basically equal a 125" whitetail. so take teh overall score of the muley and multiply it by .862 and you will have the equal score of a whitetail. Join the contest and have some fun!!!!!

There is a formula for scoring whitetails, muleys, and blacktails because there is a size difference. Muleys are naturally bigger than whitetails and whitetails are naturally bigger than blacktails. With this formula it's puts all 3 on an even playing field.

Here is an inexpenive and effective deer feeder I made recently.
No batteries to go dead, no hoisting it up in the tree, plenty of capacity, very easy to fill - so far, I love it.
I have made two of these and they are easy to build.
An empty 55 gallon drum, some 2x4's, some PVC tubing and fittings, a little bit of hardware and some paint - and you are ready to go.
I designed it so you can stand on the lower rung and fill it - the top is about 6.5 feet above the ground.
It holds about 375...
